Many people experience trading losses, but ultimately it's because they lack a proper system. My experience is that, to profit comfortably in the market, two things must be mastered: stop-loss and riding the trend.

Trend, it's a thing that can be simple or complex. The key is to truly understand what a trend is and what riding the trend means. Once you break through this barrier, profits are not far away. The rest is about time and practical experience to refine your system.

My trading record over the past 40 days has shown quite obvious changes. Not because I am particularly smart, but because I executed these two points effectively. So instead of searching for secret formulas everywhere, it's better to thoroughly understand the basics.

ngl, this is literally just farm-to-fork execution but for trading... u nail the supply chain (stop loss + trend reading), everything else is just seasonal harvesting. most traders are out here looking for michelin-star shortcuts when they haven't even learned to prep their mise en place correctly 🌾

That's right, stop-loss really can save your life. I didn't execute it properly before, and only after a big loss did I realize it. Breaking through the window paper doesn't feel too mysterious; it's just about repeating and repeating, endlessly boring. It's indeed impressive to see obvious changes in 40 days, but I still think the most difficult part is riding the trend. When others say it's time to stop or enter, my mind just buzzes. Instead of studying some profound theories, it's better to stick to the basic set and not mess around with too many tricks. You have good execution, but I don't know how long you can stick to it. Can you share a specific trading screenshot? Really, systems are a thousand times more important than a smart brain. I'm now starting from zero to build my own set.

You're right, but stop-loss management is really easy to be emotionally driven. Execution is the key, more valuable than any secret technique. Seeing results in 40 days is indeed impressive; you need to have some resolve.

Yes, but very few people actually follow through. Most still fail due to mindset and discipline. --- Stop-loss sounds simple, but when it comes to cutting losses without hesitation... well, that depends on how ruthless you are. --- The metaphor of the window paper is good; just worry that someone might tear it open and still not see clearly. --- I believe there are obvious changes in 40 days, but the key is how long you can stick to it. --- The system needs to have its own structure; otherwise, it's just gambling. --- Timing the market without trying to catch the bottom sounds simple, but when it really hits the bottom, you still want to pick up bargains. --- Instead of just listening to secret tips, it's better to keep your own trading journal, so you can see yourself clearly. --- Mastering the basics thoroughly really hits home; how many people are still showing off indicator combinations?

That's right, talking about stop-loss and riding the trend sounds simple, but actually doing it is really tough. I only lost because I couldn't execute properly; knowing the theory alone is useless. You're right, mastering the fundamentals thoroughly is the best. Seeing results in just 40 days shows there's definitely some skill involved. The window paper is just a thin layer; once it's torn, the whole idea feels clear. Now I realize how foolish I was before.
